MAILING LISTS

I just had a student voice a similar concern tonight.  She was
uncomfortable with her team's score being up on the board (her team had
not done as well as the others, and she did acknowledge that was part of
her discomfort), and especially didn't like the feelings of competition
it created in the room.

I explained to her that I am trying to foster inter-team competition to
help the teams pull together, and said I'd think over her concerns.

I'm thinking that I can perhaps post the team scores on the board
without team names - that way each team has more privacy re: no one else
knowing which score is theirs, but each team gets to see how they did
relative to their peers.  Have any of you tried something like this?  Do
you think it will have the same effect on team cohesion as would posting
the scores with the grades?

thanks,
Fran
